This is my first grow. But yes I am having good results.

That would be the easiest I guess. But I would be wasting bud xl on the ones that aren't ready for it yet.

I have been trying to figure out the easiest quickest way to do this. I feed my girls house and garden nutrients drain to waste in coco with smart pots. I have 2 10 gallon jugs that I have been premixing nutrients in one was for veg and the other for bud. Now I have girls vegging and I have 2...

Yup, I saw a video just like that but he did a double ended bulb hood. The verdict is. Air cooled you loose some par but it's made up by the ability to put an air cooled light closer to your girls. Sounds like a win to me.

I read on the Internet that there is a 10% loss. Lol. I believe everything I read on the internet. But really, I live in the northern latitudes and we seem to have more cold weather than warm weather. This winter I am planning on this light to keep my room warm and save on the heating bill...

As a matter of fact I did get an air cooled hood for a de bulb. %10 loss is negligible in my humble opinion. I needed a fixture and I didn't want to go with mogul base bulbs. I feel like I am further ahead for the small difference in price between mogul and double ended.

I just thought I would follow up. I purchased a 1000 watt air cooled de reflector and ballast today. I can't wait for my girls to start flowering. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I like the gavita but it isn't air cooled. No place to hook up the duct.

Thanks for all the replies. I haven't purchased a light yet. I will this weekend. I'm leaning toward a 1k double ended hps with an air cooled hood. Unless someone talks me out of it.

That's kinda what makes this decision hard. 2 600 watts sounds good because there is always going to be one working no matter what. Would 4 cobs be enough for my area? 6'×6'. I'm definitely not afraid of doing the work. I can do all that shit, it just costs more than hid hps.

Yes. It will be fine. I'm an electrician. Your service may not be balanced. Not really a big deal. I wouldn't worry about it.

Okay. So when I started this venture I had a plan. I was going to piece stuff together as I go and research along the way. My room is complete other than the exhaust fan, which I will get this weekend. I have had some clones for 2 weeks now under t5 lights. My question is what should I buy for...

Lol. Sorry, I was serious about dumbing it down. I just get overwhelmed with all the numbers. I'm a little slow.

Okay. So to light up a 4x8 tray, how many 3590's would that take? I'm sorry I'm terrible with numbers.

I tried to read the long posts. How many 3590's would it take to replace 2 1000 watt hid lamps? What would be the current draw be on said amount of 3590's? Would the yield be better or as good as 2 1000 watt hid's?

Good question chef. I would also like to know the answer to that question. Why not flower more than one strain at a time? Is it because of the possible height differences and nutrient needs?

Thanks dalek. I guess I never thought of it like that. Keep it in veg indefinitely.

Shit, this forum is awesome. You guys are great, I love it. No bashing the new guy.

Thanks guys. Should I stick with just one strain or can I mix it up a little?

I'm going to order some seeds soon. My room is almost complete. I'm going to go with a 4x4 veg room and a 4x4 flower room both 8' tall. T-5's for veg and 1-600 watt hid for flower. From my understanding it takes a few weeks to receive seeds after ordering, so I want to have seeds soon. Of corse...
